  • Read your work together and discuss. Complete the checklist for your partner's writing. This should involve DISCUSSION. Nothing should be marked on the peer review checklist that is not discussed with your partner!

Revision Challenges:
  1. Add figurative language! Use a creative metaphor, a simile, or personification to spice up your description!

  2. Use some participial phrases for sentence variety!
